A Literary Tour of the United States
Summary
Enter the rarified world of New York's high society in the 19th and 20th centuries. By examining the classic novels of Washington Irving, Edith Wharton, and Henry James, you'll see how writers used satire to skewer New York's monied class. Then chart the unruly spirit of the Jazz Age in the work of F. Scott Fitzgerald, and New York's latter day social elites feted by Truman Capote.
